I just saw Edain's new Isengard update, and this caught my eye:
It shows their structures going through the map's terrain. How did they do this?

The answer may be in the code for the Demo Mordor Base, the one that looks like Dol Guldur. It hides the terrain under it. But I do not have the skill to find it.
A hack solution may be to have all maps have a hole in the ground where the base is and always cover it.

That hack solution doesn't sound like it'd work, at all 
The first answer is interesting. Will check.
EDIT: You mean this?
RemoveTerrainRadius = 105.0 ; Remove terrain around this structure for subterranean cracks effect.
EDIT2: Might a negative value on GeometryHeight be related?

That first code worked from my tests.
I had been trying to work that one out for a while now.
Thanks MTL.

So how do you determine the radius?

Put it in WB, place the object and play around with the terrain raising, you have to enter a radius then...

Another thing to test is that if the terrain becomes permanently missing.

I doubt that, or Edain wouldn't have implemented it.

Usually the geometry kind of related stuff can also be tested in max by simply placing a cylinder with a Specific radius, and see somewhat where it is

That is a very cool feature. Opens up for a lot of cool map designs
